Summary:

Provides a brief background on preemption in current Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which governs the regulation of chemical substances in commerce. Provides a side-by-side comparison of the preemption provisions of S. 697, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act and H.R. 2576, the TSCA Modernization Act of 2015, both to amend TSCA to revise EPA authority to identify, test, and regulate potentially toxic chemicals to protect public health and the environment from risks of chemical exposure.
